Tiny beach hut in trendy Welsh holiday hotspot dubbed 'Cheshire-by-Sea' goes on sale for £150,000
A tiny hut on a trendy Welsh holiday hotspot dubbed 'Cheshire-by-Sea' has gone on the market for an eye-watering £150,000. The bare-bones beach-side shelter is just 12ft long by 10ft wide - smaller than a standard parking space - and is made of corrugated iron. Buyers won't even be able to stay in the cabin overnight as sleepovers are banned. The changing hut has no furniture inside, with the only furnishings a stripy shower curtain and a few small signs. But it holds stunning views over the seacape on the sandbanks beside Abersoch - a north Wales peninsula whose well-heeled staycationers include Coleen Rooney and Bear Grylls. Just last month another sea-side plot went up for grabs for a stunning £100,000... and it didn't even include a cabin. The shack's price-tag is only £8,000 short of the average cost of a terraced home in the county of Gwynedd - according to figures from the Office of National Statistics. Estate agent Beresford Adams called it a 'fantastic opportunity to acquire a modern freehold bathing hut on this renowned beach in Abersoch.' The tiny space measures just 12 by 10 ft - and is smaller than a standard parking space They continued: 'This is a modern constructed hut built some four years ago lying about 200 yards towards the Yacht club end of the beach from Footprints Café down Golf Road. 'The hut lies along the sand dunes just slightly set back from the front line huts, enjoying magnificent views across Cardigan Bay to the Moorings and the St Tudwals Islands. 'The hut measures 12' 4' x 10' internally with a small mezzanine storage area and a changing cubicle. A timber Balcony 11' x 6' 9' with double wooden door entry.' Coleen Rooney and her family make regular holiday trips to Abersoch, swapping the beaches of the Caribbean for North Wales most years. In August 2023 she posted several family snaps of her children with the caption: 'Always the best time in Abersoch.' Porth Mawr beach runs at nearly half a mile in length and is known among locals for its golden sand and is mainly backed by the dunes. Explaining the lure of Abersoch, tourist body Visit Snowdonia said: 'There are three beaches at Abersoch - it's the main beach that holds the Blue Flag and the Seaside Award.

The Landlord's Playbook is proving a hit on Amazon
David Adams, managing director of Cavendish, was number one in the Finance and Mortgage category on Amazon, and number two in Property Guides within days of his book The Landlord's Playbook going on sale. He wrote the book to share his knowledge and experience of more than 20 years' working with landlords, advising them on how to maximise the value of their property portfolios. David became MD of Cavendish in 2022, succeeding his father Julian, and the company offers estate agency and lettings services to clients from its three offices in Mold, Ruthin and Chester. Read more: North Wales artist celebrated in new Doctor Who art book He said: "I've worked in property for 23 years and for 15 of those my focus was on the lettings side of the business, during which time I've met a lot of landlords and lettings agents, many of whom face the same opportunities and challenges. "The book is an attempt to empty my head of everything I've learnt into something tangible and provide solutions which I hope landlords will find useful whatever stage of the journey they are on." The book is divided into three sections: Navigating Politics, Building a Legacy and Adopting the Right Character. David said: "There are now more than 170 different pieces of legislation that landlords need to know to operate their businesses effectively and avoid falling foul of the law. Read more: Month of bestselling authors set to entertain across Flintshire "The current Renters' Rights Bill going through Parliament could see landlords being hit with fines of £7,000 for each offence. The complexity of legislation and potential penalties for landlords have never been greater. "Another key area the book covers is legacy, looking at everything from how someone structures their business to exit strategies, maximising value and potential inheritance within a family. "The final part addresses the issue of character and shares some of the lessons I've learnt about the importance of having the time to take a helicopter view of your business, the idea of working on rather than in your business. "There are many examples where landlords try to take on too much and forget that they are property investors in which the end goal is building a successful and profitable property portfolio." Read more: "Charming and traditional" cottage in Flintshire goes on the market David's family's heritage in the industry runs deep with David, himself, being the great-great-grandson of the founder of the Beresford Adams estate agency which traces its history back to 1889. A few years after David's late grandfather sold Beresford Adams, Julian and his business partner Robert Ikin decided to strike out on their own in 1993 with the launch of Cavendish Ikin, with the inspiration for the Cavendish part of the name coming from the road in Chester where the Adams family lived for many years. David added: "Success as a landlord isn't just about bricks and mortar, it's about mindset, purpose and the legacy you leave behind. Read more: Developer plans 130 affordable homes for Croes Atti "We are increasingly seeing a new breed of landlords, fuelled by the likes of Instagram and TikTok and who are more about property investment, building portfolios and looking for exit strategies at the right time. They are typically in their 20s or 30s and maybe moved out of London to Cheshire and North Wales." In addition to the book, every quarter for the last couple of years, David and fellow director Nicola Blake have hosted webinars for landlords. The last one was attended by more than 150 people keen to keep up-to-date with the latest legislation and compliance requirements and the different ways in which landlords can optimise their business. • David's book The Landlord's Playbook is available here:
